Sam (Cranbrook, Kent)
the final year of Honours, half of the time is spent attending combinations of the numerous new tutorial style modules leading to different specialist Honours degrees. The focus of these advanced modules is student-led, enquiry-based learning. The other half of the fourth year is occupied by a substantial research project where students work independently within a research group developing their research skills. For more details of our teaching programme, visit our Biology admissions web pages. Our School is a dynamic and supportive environment for scholarship amid a beautiful setting for university life. Why not come and see for yourself?
Teaching Teaching is delivered by lectures, seminars, and tutorials with a strong practical element at all levels. In addition, emphasis is placed on transferable skills including IT and the presentation of material both orally and in writing. In addition to providing in-depth experience with laboratory or field investigation, our substantial final-year project allows you to develop research skills that are strongly desired by many prospective employers and also by graduate schools offering postgraduate degrees.
Summary of Course Content
Single Honours Degrees When reading our list of degree programmes, bear in mind that you will be able to move easily between most Biology Honours degree intentions during your first two years of study.
“With” Honours Degrees
Biology with French Biology is the major component of this programme in which the development of written and spoken language skills is emphasised. Students will have the opportunity to spend a year at a European university as an additional year integrated into their degree programme (or as a formal Junior Honours year abroad completed as part of a recognised exchange partnership.)
“The choice to study Zoology in a place like St Andrews was an easy one. It provides the chance to do some hands-on research on a wide variety of organisms, with like-minded colleagues and staff with years of experience. Throw in fieldtrips, travel abroad, fantastic research facilities, lectures from staff and visiting lecturers working at the front line of their field, and it’s enough to inspire anyone. Wherever that inspiration may take you, there are helpful advisers genuinely keen to help you along your chosen career path.”
Psychology with Biology This degree allows students a logical combination of modules with an emphasis on behaviour in both animals and humans. More Psychology than Biology modules are taken in order to fulfil the requirements for accreditation in Psychology.
Joint Honours Degrees
Biology and Economics This degree will be of interest to students aiming to work as economists/managers within the biotechnology, biomedical or environmental science sectors of government or private industry, non-governmental institutions or organisations. Students can focus on Molecular Biology and Biotechnology or on Environmental Biology, and, in addition, gain a sound knowledge of economic principles and quantitative methods in first and second year, progressing later to more advanced material in macroeconomic and microeconomic theory and econometrics, and topics in applied economics.
Biology and Psychology This degree allows students a balanced and logical combination of modules with an emphasis on behaviour in both animals and humans.
Environmental Biology and Geography or Geoscience These involve modules in environmental biology plus a selection of modules from the School of Geography & Geosciences on topics such as geomorphology, environmental geoscience, physical geography and geology, accompanied by appropriate fieldwork.
